Lila's language explosion

I just picked up Miss Lila from preschool and her teachers said "Lila talked our ears off today". They are so amazed on how fast she has learned English and I must say it is pretty impressive. The sad part is that means that she doesn't speak Mandarin anymore and to me that is such a loss. What an asset and cultural connection that has just all but disappeared. Maybe one day we will be able to find a place to take her for Mandarin lessons and regain that part of her heritage. Here she is before school this morning getting Elmo ready for the drive over!
